Car Alarms: Chrysler Sebring Kill Switch problem, chrysler sebring, bells and whistles


Question
QUESTION: I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring that won't start do to the malfunction of the kill switch.  How do I turn off the switch to start the car?

ANSWER: Please tell me what you are experiencing.

I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.

Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
Or,
Is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
"going off"?

Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action.

QUESTION: First of all thanks for the quick response.  The problem is that I put the key in the ignition to turn it on, and nothing happens.  All the bells and whistles work (lights, radio, everything), but the car doesn't start. The remote works like it's suppose to (horn when you push lock and lights flash when you unlock), but the car just won't start.  The last time this happened the car dealership had to replace the button that's underneath the steering wheel, so I pushed the button on it but nothing changed.

Thanks again for responding
Darrell

Answer
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, until the installed LED
(the blinking light) in your dash area
goes on solid, and the siren chirps once.

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.

Let me know what happens.
